Salmon

Distant memories are sweeter than this world to behold

Feast, laughter song and poems

Distant memories yet so sweet

Rekindling like ember flashbacks,

Serenade the lament of every moment

 

Reminisce, oh dear,

Splurge into extravagance of memories

Nothing is so sweet than a parr

Discovery of morning sunset

 

Out of childish fascination,

Fresh as flowers, dews and bees,

In an early humid cold

A sight and feeling of wonderment behold.

 

The wander years that was long gone,

Stream of memories sweeter than none.

All salmon swim against all odds

To be at home in what they knew and had.

 

Sweet it is, this journey in life we’ve seen

Sweeter is the story untold, onto places we’ve been

If memories like salmon swim against the stream

This will be the sweetest among all it seem.

very nice!! distant memories jumping in the stream of conscious - like the salmon - the trials of human life "all salmon swim against the odds" - this poem takes on so many different ideas!! it's depth is huge and metaphorical interpretation endless perhaps, very well written!! I liked!
